Apply Pōdex™ Like a Pro
Our 3-step system makes it easy to lift and protect nails prone to curling or discomfort. Whether you’re new to Pōdex™ or simply want a smoother, more confident routine, we’ll guide you through how to prep, lift, and seal your way to healthier, naturally beautiful nails.
Step 1 – PREP
Start with clean, dry nails. Use the filing pen with the "Remove" attachment to gently roughen the surface of the nail, then tidy the edges with the "Clean" attachment. Brush away all dust and apply a thin coat of PREP gel. Cure for 120 seconds under the UV/LED lamp.
Step 2 – LIFT
Apply 2 to 4 thin layers of LIFT gel, depending on nail curvature.
- Mild to moderate curve: 2 layers.
- Severe curve: 3–4 layers for a gentle lift.
Cure for 120 seconds under the UV/LED lamp. The surface may still feel slightly tacky after curing — this is normal.
Step 3 – SEAL
Finish with a thin coat of SEAL gel to lock in correction and cure for 120 seconds under the UV/LED lamp until the surface feels smooth and non-tacky. If slightly sticky, cure 30–60 seconds longer.
How To Remove
Gently file off the SEAL, LIFT, and PREP layers using the filing pen with the "Remove" attachment. Work evenly across the nail with light pressure at low-to-medium speed until the natural nail appears.
Switch to the "Clean" attachment to tidy up edges and smooth cuticles, then brush away all dust.
If you’re not reapplying Pōdex™ right away, lightly buff the nail with "Buff" attachment for a natural, healthy shine. Finish by massaging in a few drops of cuticle oil or nail serum to rehydrate and protect the nail surface.
Why It Works
When cured under UV/LED light, PŌDEX™ transforms into a strong, lightweight brace that gently lifts and supports curved toenails.
Each layer of our LIFT gel is made from a clinic-grade polymer that hardens into a durable structure, like an invisible arch, that resists pressure and helps guide your nail to grow straighter over time.
More layers means more strength. That’s why we recommend:
- 2 layers for mild curves
- 3 to 4 layers for more severe curvature
This isn’t just cosmetic. It’s a non-invasive corrective system inspired by modern orthonyxia (nail bracing) techniques used in clinics around the world.
